New York City Out to Lunch – Cheap EatsLa CeibaA former East Village dive reinvents itself as a major authentic-Mexican contender.
The SceneThough this hole-in-the-wall remodeled a few years ago, don't go in expecting nuevo-East Village swank. It still looks like a tiny diner with a few sombreros thrown on the walls. Service can be a little pokey, so entertain yourself with some Avenue A street theater at one of the sidewalk tables outside The FoodThough the revamped decor may not catch your eye, you'll certainly take notice of the menu. Start with a plate of nachos, served in authentic style with each chip individually smothered; don't forget a side of spicy guacamole. Tacos and burritos are fine, but the platters are what make La Ceiba special. Standouts include the camerones enchilados, plump shrimp served in a tangy red-pepper sauce, and the superflavorful, not-too-greasy chiles rellenos. Why ruin a delicious meal with a so-so margarita? Instead, try the refreshing horchata, a rice-milk drink so tasty you won't miss the booze. 173 Avenue A |
